Fall Flair!

Finally, it seems like we might survive the blistering heat of the summer of broken heat records. The nights are getting cooler and the days are pleasant. I'm hoping for a nice long fall before we head into the winter months. Here is what you need to know for your fall wardrobe:

JEANS: Always a good choice, always comfortable. It doesn't seem to matter whether you wear fitted or flared; you should wear the style that is the best fit for your figure.

LEATHER: And we're not just talking jackets here, either. I consider leather to be a basic staple in the closet. Skirts, jackets, and don't forget the suede. Reds, blacks and the saddle brown.

SLACKS: Whether at the office, out on the town, or lounging around at home. Slacks this fall sport bold splashes of color. In my research, and in particular at www.intermixonline.com, I learned that color on the bottom, black on top is the new trend. So, mix and match your bold slacks with black sweaters and tops. The main colors? Red, blues and yellow, in any shade you want.

PLAID: Yes, it seems you just cannot have a fall without plaid. I've always wondered about that. But, even going back into my childhood days, plaid in Autumn is always in order. Skirts, jackets, long and short. The usual plaid color combinations are in order: black/white/gray, blue/gray/black, brown/white/tan, black/red/white, brown/gold/yellow. You can even throw on that plaid poncho!

I will be continuing this in the next blog session with dresses,and jackets. But for now, of course you'll be needing bold jewelry to go along with the fall colors, so be sure to look at the new items on www.jewelrybotanica.com
Thanks! Happy Fall!
